Murphy's Irish Stout
Brewed at Lady's Well in Cork since 1856 and served under nitrogen, which gives a dense tan head and a still, almost uncarbonated body. Roasted barley and chocolate malt carry the flavour: coffee grounds and mocha on the nose, then dark chocolate, toffee and well-fired toast across a silky medium body. The roast stays gentle and the close turns to molasses and toast rather than hop bite, which is what separates it from the drier stouts of the same tradition.
